Y., yesterday. Touching on the recent rail and coal strikes, Mr. Root said: "We aro all employes and laborers and the general public Is apt to be Impatient1 about strikes. So long as strikes were a contest between laborers and employers to secure for labor Its fair share of tho new wealth which has come to mankind through Invention and discovery and application of sci ence, and the art of organization, the sympathies of the American public were wit hlabor. When the strike be comes an attempt to coerce the pub lic Into taking action by cutting off the supply of food or service neces sary to the life of the community, I am sure that public feeling cocs the other way. "I think that In this country we are gradually approaching the point where the law of the land will pro vide for distinguishing between the two kinds of strikes, and protecting j the public against compulsion by anyj threat of peril to life or of destruc tion to the machinery of civilization and at the same time protecting the workman's liberty to refuso to work and the workman's liberty to work. It we cannot come to that point then the American government of all the people by al the people for all the people will fall, and a few will rule the many. Perhaps wo are approach ing that point asrapldly as Is practi cable and wise to attempt." FRESH OYSTERS We guarantee KUlIan's brand, the highest grade packed. T. K. Barnes & Sons. LOWER FREIGHT SCALE MADE When, the, livestock rate hearing convened at 2 o'clock Tuesday after noon in Louisville the carriers and shippers announced that an agree ment had been reached whereby a scael of livestock rates will be estab lished throughout the south that will be satisfactory to the shippers. The new scale is somewhat higher than had been asked by the shippers, but materially lower than proposed by the carriers. It differs from the scale heretofore established In simi lar proceedings. It is to be known as the Southeast ern livestock scale and Is made in the. light of conditions in this territory. Coupled with the agreement as to the rates is a proposition whereby Southern producers will be acorded "stocker" or "feeder" rates from all their markets onb asls of 75 per cent of rates applicable to the finished animals. Lower ctyrload minimum is also to apply than is used In other territories. LOCUST TREE IN BLOOM J. O.

Senator Pltlman, of Nevada, recently paid a tribute to benator Newlands as the father of the western reclamation policy, .and called attention to the fact that Sen ator Newlands was a Democrat. In the more recent discussion in the senate. Senator Nicholson, Re publican, Colorado, by implication dis paraged the late Secretary Lane by declaring that Theodore Roosevelt was the man who placed reclamation on the map. Whereupon Senator Har rison paid a tribute to the late Pres ident Roosevelt as a great man, but exposed Senator Nicholson as a sup porter of Mr. Taft and an opponent of Roosevelt when the two were can didates tor president. Senator King, Democrat, Utah, add ed to the confusion of Senator Nich olson by interjecting this statement: "The senator (Mr. Nicholson) sup ported Mr. Taft, and Mr. Taft and the Republican party conducted a cam paign of vituperation and abuse of Mr. Roosevelt." "I yield to the senator from Colo rado to answer," said Senator Harri son. But Senator Nicholson was si lent and the Incident closed with laughter.

NEW TARIFF A COrFIN FOR PROSPERITY CORPSE The jFordney-McCumber profiteers' tariff bill, which is estimated to dou ble taxation of the American people; that Is to say, to add another $4,000,- 000,000 In the way of taxes, but of! which only a few hundred millions will go Into the treasury, tiie balance Into the pockets of the special privi lege class, has been signed by the president and is now a law. This tariff bill, aptly termed the "coffin for the corpse of prosperity," will fall heaviest upon farmers and working men, by reason of the fact that it will still, further curtail the farmers' foreign markets, and by de stroying what little is left of our for- elgn trade will greatly reduce pro duction In manufacturing lines as well as In natural Industries. In a speech Just prjor to the pass age of the bill Senator Underwood, tho Democratic leader of tho senate, called attention to some of the out rageous rates of' the bill, particularly to the wool schedule, in which he showed that the tax levied on raw wool would collect out of the pockets of the American people $200,000,000, only $20,000,000 of which would go Into the trseasury of the United States and the balance Into the pock ets of the special Interests. , Senator Undeiwoot excorciated that feature of the bill which trans fers the taxing power from congress to the president, and said: "I do not think it will last Ions as law. If It should last long, if the terms gf-the blls were to stay on the statute books for two decades I would predict the rottenest filth and corrup- uqn mm couiu grow out ot such a bureaucracy, that would be a stench In the nostrils of all good people. But I do not think It will last. I think before that day comes the American people, win. take the size of what this congress has done, wll realize that the congress has laid down a great responsibility that was given to them, which the constitution ot the United States has pla.ced in their hands, that they have surrendered a great trust and the American people will rebuke any party and any set of men who have been guilty ot abandoning a trust like this given to their safe' keeping."
